The Baron Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 dvd play back is choppy at best(real poor) Try VLC media player - works well. Also try a newer kernel, yours might have an FSB issue. when i try the "about this mac" it resets the desktop gui Search the forum for loginwindow, you'll have to get this file and replace the one you have. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...;hl=loginwindow Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44606-it-kinda-works/#findComment-319427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
